My mind is far too curious; always rambling from one thing to another and so I cannot dedicate this blog to any one subject. Therefore, I bring you my everything. All writings are subject to change as I see fit. I am always learning and improving, therefore some works are worthy of re-editing and some are simply works I've moved too far beyond.

Before he was bad, he was a bad mother fucker

David Allan Coe's got a reputation for being the grandfather of raunchy country, but before he got there, he was a lowly bum sitting on deathrow for killing a man. It was there he wrote the first album of his infamous career, "Penitentiary Blues". Here, he wasn't so much country as he was a soulful bluesman, bursting with misery and pleads of mercy upon his warden. Bluesy wordplay, southern marinated guitar work and a touch of voodoo craftsmanship makes this whole thing a work of mad brilliance. Now, you listen to Monkey David Wine and see what I mean.
